From low to high, a violin is tuned G – D – A – E, each string a perfect fifth apart.

• G string: This is the deepest string, located on the far left when holding the instrument.
• D string: The second-lowest string, often used for melodic passages.
• A string: It sits just below the highest string and is tuned to 440 Hz in standard pitch.
• E string: This steel string produces the most projecting sound.

This tuning system makes it easier to shift positions across the fingerboard.

Once you can tune and recognise each string, you can start building finger patterns.

Expect to pay approximately £50/h for an hour of violin teaching in Bexley.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• The student's level (Grade 1–8 or diploma level)
• The tutor's background and credentials (professional orchestra experience, ABRSM exams)
• Lesson length and frequency (weekly, fortnightly or intensive blocks)
• The format (face-to-face or via video call)

Some tutors provide a free trial lesson so you can check compatibility.

The violin has a steep learning curve, but consistent practice brings steady progress.

• No frets: Unlike a guitar, the violin has no frets, so you must place your fingers exactly right to play in tune.
• Bowing technique: The angle, pressure and speed of the bow all affect tone quality.
• Posture and hold: Correct posture prevents tension and injury over the long term.

A qualified teacher helps you avoid frustration and accelerates your development.
